RUDOLPH N. HUNTER, or PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA, ASSIGNOR ro scor'rBerna COMPANY, A CORPORATION or PENNSYLVANIA,

SANITARY COVER FOR TOILET-SEATS.

Be it known that I, RUDOLPH citizen of the United States, and residentof Philadelphia, ,county of and State of Pennsylvania, an ImprovementinSanitary Covers for Toilet-Seats, of which the following isa.

specification.

The, object of my invention, is to provide a sanitary covering fortoiletseatsadapted for public service, the coveringbeing so .ap;

plied that it ma be readily renewed.

My object is urther, to provide such covering by the employment of softpaper in .roll form,'whieh may be provided without requiring specialmachinery or dies, thereby to be empldyed at My invention consists incombining the seat with suitable'holders andguides. and employingtherewith a web or webs of paper in roll form carried by the holder andguided about the guides so as to cover the edges of the seat aperture.

More specifically considered, my invention in its'preferred form, may bebest practised by using a double web roll, the webs of which aresimultaneously employed as a seat covering as more fully describedhereinafter.

My invention also comprehends details of construction which, togetherwith the features above s ecified, will he better understood by reerence to the accompanyin drawings, in which:

Figure 1 isa plan view of aseat with my improved sanitary coveringapplied thereto;.Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same; Fig. 3 1s aplan View of my improvements in modified form.' Fig. 4 is a frontelevation and Fig. 5 a side elevation of the m0 dified form of myinvention shown 111 rear guides and Fig. 7 illustrates the folds made inthe y I provide Fig. 3; Fig. '6 is a plan viewof one of'the of themodified construction;

paper web thereby; and Fig. 8 is aside elevation showing webs.

2 is the usual seat, which may be provided with the aperture 1 and maybehingedat 3. To thefront portion of the seat I secure a slotted guide 6and below it, a holder 5 for supporting the paper roll 9. At the rearportions of the seat and at each side thereof, I provide oblique guides7 and 8 about which the Specification of Letters Patent.

Philadelphia, have invented.-

my preferred roll of'two PatentedDec. 15, 1 914;

Application filed September-'26, 1912, SerialNo. 722,527.

paper webs are guided. The roll 9 cominto a single roll and so as tounwind together. These webs [are drawn upward through the slotted guide6 and then separated, web 10 being guided about the guides 7 and web 11guided about guide 8. The free ends 13 of these webs are crossedas at 14and drawnnllnder, the opposite-webs 10 and 11; so as to beheld downbythem. The

guides] and 8 are-obli 'uely arranged with,

respect to each'otherxan to the slotted guide t, so as to cause thepaperwebs to fold at the proper angles to provide the bounding-edges 12 and14 to cover the edges of the opening 4, as will be readily understood byreference to Fig. 1.

In the modification shown in Fig. 3, the guides 7 and 8 are formed offlat plates instead of bent wires to provide double angular edges aboutwhich the web is bent, so that the angle between the parts 12 and 14-.of the web is not as acute as in the construction' of Fig. 1. It is tobe understood that I do not restrict myself as to the form of the guidesfor the webs.

I have shown myinvention emloying prises two webs 10 and 11 rolledtogether a roll of two webs, but it will be understood that if desired asingle web may be-employed, and when so used may be guided about bothguides 7 and 8 and returned to the guide 6, as this would be merely amat- ,ter of threading or guiding the web about the guides and would nottive feature of providin ing byuseof a web an ides. I therechangetheoperaa sanitarycoverfore' do not restrict mysel in this respect,

double webs as enabling the use of lighter, and narrower webs whileprovidin a multiple covering at the rear portion 0 the seat.

ters Patent, is

1. In a sanitary seat, combined with guides at front and rear,

toilet seat covering, the

though I -prefer the employment of the portion thereof and arranged. atangles to each other, a compound ro of peer having two webs guided aboutthe guldes and having their si e edges overlapping the seat 6- opening.

2. In a sanitary toilet seat covering, the seat, combined with guides atfront an rear portion thereof and arranged at angles to each other, acompound roll of paper having two webs guided about the guides andhaving their side edges overlapping the seat opening the free ends ofthe respective webs being arranged under the opposite webs whereby saidfree ends are held down and the webs provide a plurality of paper pliesat the rear portion of the seat.

3. In a sanitary toilet seat covering, the seat, combined with a rollholder at the front of the seat and two obliquely arranged guides at therear portion of the seat, and a compound roll o. paper comprisin twowebs rolled upon each other and sai webs guided apart and thence aboutthe ides and finally folded to rest over each ot er to form a pluralityof plies and with the edges of the webs overlapping the seat opening.
